2. The second screenshot is with Natalie Harp, a close aide to the President.
Natalie will often respond to people with texts dictated by President Trump directly; you can see in her screenshot that she sent a text to MTG with “THE JEFFREY EPSTEIN HOAX” before MTG replied with her text.

NEW: We’ve uncovered the first known example of taxpayer money flowing from DHS to businesses controlled by Kristi Noem’s allies and friends.
